Clock hands

The hands of my dash clock don't align correctly; when the minute hand is on the 12, the hour hand doesn't point directly to the hour. Is there a way of adjusting the hands separately from each other?

No idea how the hands would get out of synch in the first place. I'll probably popthe clock out at the weekend as I need to check the radio aerial amp (poor radio signal), replace a bulb (part of the clock looks doesn't seem to light up) and try replacing the bulb on my OBC (fingers crossed it's not the transistor problem).
 
Update: someone's clearly had the face off the clock previously. The glass and bezel came off easily and there was evidence of a couple of dabs of adhesive on the rim. So good and bad. Easy to get to the minute hand off to correct the alignment, but I've now got to decide how to attach the bezel semi-permanently (more non-hardening glue I guess). At least the rubber gasket around the clock holds the bezel as well.
 
These clocks are not particularly expensive on eBay, and come up fairly regularly, so it may be useful to try there, if yours is shot.
 
Noted about Ebay, but actually it's only the bezel needing to be stuck back into place with a couple of spots of glue (so that it could be taken apart again in needed). Besides, mine are factory option alu faced dials which tend to be extortionately expensive to replace.
